Smart cover for iPhone 6+

Once you flip the cover open, your hand that's holding the phone can keep the cover in place. It will require an extra movement but I'm sure it can't so bothersome that no one would use a smart cover.
something like this http://store.imore.com/revjams-flipback-smart-casecover-with-stand/4A22A17192A.htm i guess 
But it would just be a regular cover. The thing that makes it smart is that it wakes/sleeps the iPad. The phones don't have that capability built in.
looks like twelvesouth is gonna make one..and yes its splitting hairs, it's not a "smart" cover...no concern to me.
I'm looking for a folio case like this too. The closest thing I have found to it is the Incipio Highland, which looks pretty good. I only wish the bottom of the case wasn't open. I'd rather it be a closed bumper style with cutouts for better drop protection. Maybe we will see more options in the next several weeks.
Apple should have created this case already. They knew by making a phablet that people would use it instead of an iPad Mini. 
that looks nice! just wondering if theres any way that the front cover is going to stay still e.g. magnets or something or will it just flap around
Good question. I'm not sure & their site doesn't say. They had these at AT&T yesterday, but I was afraid to take it out of the box in the store since I wasn't purchasing my phone there. I haven't found any reviews on-line of anyone who actually has the case.
This one doesn't look bad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e=as2&tag=kentuc07-20&linkId=7KJGNEK4H4LDQIL6

When I went to pick-up my iPhone, I stopped at Best Buy and they had some flip style cases:

When I used to jailbreak there was an app that would use the proximity sensor to mimic the smart case functionality on an iPad. I found the flip case annoying on a phone but it is nice to have more protection on the screen.

Just wish for the both of these the cutouts at the bottom and top were more protected

I ordered a folio for mine off of amazon for a couple bucks for extra protection while I wait for LifeProof to release their case. I think a Smart Cover-like item is a brilliant idea.
